Namco Bandai Ships Culdcept Saga For Xbox 360

Unique Trading Card and Board
Game Hybrid Arrives in North America with Addictive Tactical Gameplay, Nearly
500 Cards to Collect and Support for Xbox LIVE Online Play

NAMCO BANDAI Games America announced
today that Culdcept™ SAGA has shipped to retail stores nationwide exclusively
for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Combining
the luck and strategy of a traditional board game with the depth of trading card
games, Culdcept SAGA offers gamers an entirely original play experience as they
customize their decks and take on opponents in an addictive single player mode,
multiplayer versus mode and online via Xbox LIVE®.

Culdcept SAGA immerses players in a
mystical world in which combatants wage war to possess pieces of a powerful book
known as the “Culdcept.” Shattered into hundreds of cards imbued with incredible
capabilities, the Culdcept has the power to grant its owner godlike abilities.
As players battle others who seek to wield the Culdcept, they will move around a
variety of game boards in an attempt to gain ownership of land squares while
confronting enemy monsters. As they traverse the board, players can choose to
pay a toll to their opponent to avoid battle, or go toe to toe with a creature
of their own. With each successful encounter in the game’s single player story
mode, players will acquire new cards as well as rare outfits they can use to
customize their in-game avatar.

Boasting an impressive range of
multiplayer features, Culdcept SAGA lets up to four players match wits and
custom decks in tactical battles on a single Xbox 360 system or online with Xbox
LIVE. Players will be able to customize the full scope of their multiplayer
experience by managing the in-game rules, match types and even holding “blind”
matches to level the playing field by distributing a random deck of cards to all
competitors.

Culdcept SAGA is rated “T” for Teen
by the ESRB and carries and suggested retail price of $39.99.
